The Origen of Melodies
what do we say tonight,
my sweet beloved?
tonight we feast on dreams
and on shadows.
tonight we bury the dead.
tonight we face a new dawn
of swirling tides
and flows of rain and wind.
tonight we fill our bellies
with laughter and lilacs.
we kiss the sky
and thank it for dancing with us
one more song.
we embrace the sweet gifts
cascading from the heavens
to our very breast.
- our very breast.
we dance the night away
and let her rest.
we sing songs
of the magic
of winter coming.
we see the rain
for its symphonic wonder.
we open our mouths
wide
and sing
and swallow
our joys
and our spells
for a beautiful tomorrow.
the songs are free.
the songs are free.
they’re for you and for me.
